Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas admitted frustration after their 0-0 draw at Stoke City.
The former Porto manager was not happy with the result but praised his side for the way they changed the game in the second half, and believes there are positive signs heading into the home matches against West Brom and Norwich.
Villas-Boas said: "I can't be pleased with a point but it's one of the most difficult grounds to play at. For our title challenge I would say one point at Stoke is not bad.
"It's not the greatest start to the Premier League of course, but we are happy we raised the level of the game in the second half.
"Unfortunately for us the goal didn't happen. We were close and we had the possession we wanted and we played in their half, the game looked more in our control, but I'm happy we were able to raise our level.
"It means against these kind of teams you are able to find space and create opportunities. Now we have to raise our game again for the two home games we have."
